DonateStephanie Ngoc Minh Nguyen, Dharma name Chân Nguyệt Uyển, was ordained as a Dharma Teacher in March 2025. Based in Seattle, Washington, she has been a core organizer for the North American Viet Wake Up movement since 2014. She plays a key role in organizing many family retreats in the Plum Village tradition in the Seattle area and is one of the core leaders of the Thanh Thơi Sangha. Stephanie also spends part of her time as a resident at Magnolia Grove Monastery, deepening her practice in the Plum Village tradition.
From time to time we offer multi-week courses related to mindfulness, the teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh, and a variety of similar subjects. Please see our schedule of upcoming courses.

Take the Deer Park Monastery and Plum Village community with you wherever you go. The Plum Village app is designed to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and joy through guided meditations, deep relaxations, practice poems, bells of mindfulness, and other practices — all through a mobile device.
